You sure you want to skip all the way up to 20" wheels?
That's a pretty big step from a scoot-bike (I'm also assuming your kid is around 5 y/o).

I have a nice 20" Redline BMX mini that my son raced when he was 5/6, but it's handbrake only and might be a little much for a kid just learning to pedal, though once he's got a bit of experience, it's a super sweet first "real' bike. Fits smaller than your standard 20" bike, only weighs ~15lbs.

Also have 16" Redline Pitboss that has both coaster and hand brakes (and flames!). Also would be a cool first bike.

They're nice solid little bikes - I'll dig it out this weekend and send along a couple pics if you want.
It's been through a few kids (my son and a friend's son too) so it's not 'like new' by any means, but I'm sure it's still got some good miles in it.
